Speed Dating Sessions

Do you want to find female/nonbinary songwriting partners to create music with for Female Songwriters Day? Join our speed dating sessions!

How does it work?

The speed dating rounds will be hosted online on Zoom and last for about one hour. During this time you will meet up to 18 other female/non-binary songwriters and producers who you’ll be able to set up writing sessions with and create wonderful music.

Sure... but how exactly?

STEP 1:

All participants gather in the Zoom meeting main room

STEP 2:

After a brief introduction from us you will be randomized into breakout rooms in groups of four

STEP 3:

The breakout room will last for 8 minutes and during this time you will take turns introducing yourselves to each other. Make sure to include contact information in your presentation so you can hook up after the event. Have fun and make it personal!

STEP 4:

After 8 minutes, everyone gathers again in the main room for a short breather of about 2 minutes.

STEP 5:

We’ll repeat the cycle from step 2 five more times, which will give you a total of six rounds of breakout rooms.
